Default Is there a max speed in 4H in the Raptor?

I recently purchased a Raptor and am wondering of there is a top speed when in 4H?

From the factory it will max out at 100(2wd and 4wd). Put a 5 Star tune on it and you can go well beyond that.

Thanks for the info!!! I've only gone about 60mph so far in 4H. I don't have any area close where I can reach the higher speeds. I am planning a trip this summer to really experience all this truck has to offer!!!

The limiting factor, from the factory, was driven by the speed rating of the tires. The drive train is a little different on the Raptor. Take a look at the size of the half shafts in front. the rear axles is bigger also. The rear end in the Raptor will stay locked at any speed...5 or 125.

That said, unless your stretching the legs of your rig on some long dirt road or dunes, not sure why you would be in 4H at speed. Definitely not on the road.

No definitely not on the road. I am planning a trip to Moses Lake, WA and want to know more about the truck before I go rather than break it and find out that way.
